Growing Adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Practices
The market is significantly driven by awareness in sustainable and eco-friendly farming practices. With insight coming through that chemical fertilizers have their fair share of adverse environmental the overuse of urea contributing to soil deterioration, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions- farmers are now gradually seeking alternatives like neem-coated urea. For instance, in 2025, farmers used about 100 kg of urea per acre for paddy. With a government subsidy of Rs 1,958 per 45 kg bag, they pay only Rs 242, saving Rs 4,348 per acre. Neem-coated urea has a slow-release mechanism that ensures the gradual release of nitrogen into the soil, which not only improves the efficiency of nitrogen utilization but also reduces nitrogen losses to the environment. This contributes to less environmental pollution and healthier ecosystems. Additionally, neem-coated urea enhances soil fertility by improving microbial activity, making it an attractive option for farmers who prioritize soil health. As sustainability becomes a key focus within agricultural policies worldwide, government regulations and subsidies supporting the use of organic and slow-release fertilizers, including neem-coated urea, are contributing to the growing adoption of this product. The demand for sustainable agricultural inputs is expected to continue rising, propelling the growth of the neem-coated urea market as more farmers seek to balance productivity with environmental responsibility.
Increasing Government Support and Policy Initiatives
Government bodies are playing a pivotal role in driving the neem-coated urea market through various policy initiatives and support programs aimed at promoting the adoption of eco-friendly fertilizers. In India, for instance, the government has introduced schemes and subsidies to encourage the use of neem-coated urea, aligning with the country’s objective to reduce its environmental footprint while boosting agricultural productivity. Such policies include price caps on traditional urea, which incentivize farmers to switch to neem-coated variants. For instance, in March 2025, The Centre has supplied ample fertilizers for Telangana farmers, including 12.2 lakh metric tonnes of urea, 1.72 lakh metric tonnes of DAP, 0.95 lakh metric tonnes of MOP, and 8.57 lakh metric tonnes of NPKS. Additionally, neem-coated urea is recognized for its ability to improve soil health and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, which aligns with broader goals of sustainable agricultural practices and food security. As more governments adopt policies that promote environmental sustainability and organic farming, the demand for neem-coated urea is expected to increase. Furthermore, various international organizations and environmental agencies are advocating for sustainable agricultural solutions, which further encourage the use of neem-coated urea globally. With continued government backing and regulatory support, neem-coated urea is poised for significant growth, providing both ecological and economic benefits to the agriculture sector.
